74 Round 3 - Jordan Burroughs (Sunkist Kids) vs. Kyle Dake (TMWC)

[@scottscoville1118]

After watching this series, I feel like no one needs to say anything at all. There it was, everything clear to see. We all know. Thank you, Mr. Dake, Mr. Burroughs, for truly great wrestling.

Happily watching Dake get owned because he’s such a douche bag. Literally the most classless dude I’ve ever heard .

[@henry-joemurphy1286]

I know there's a lot of JB's haters, but you've got to respect his toughness and "never quit" attitude. And to stay at the TOP of the mountain both nationally and internationally for SO many years... that's incredible. I don't see how could be left out of the conversation for greatest U.S wrestler of ALL-time. I don't think there's ever been a field of wrestlers this talented in any other decade. He's an amazing champion and deserves all the praise, awards, accolades and championships. I'd love to see him win another Gold medal, but that would be really, really tough. I've also enjoyed watching the evolution of Kyle Dake... I used to think he was kind of a boring wrestler to watch... Lots of defensive, low scoring matches... It seems like with his increasing confidence mixed with frustration, he's really starting to open it up and take a lot more risks. I don't know how much longer Burroughs is going to be able to beat him. Regardless, great wrestling from both Dake and Burroughs. Congratulations to Jordan Burroughs, well done! ~But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ.~

[@Amir_Khosrowshahi]

Great Candidate

[@wyattp8479]

you guys complaining about this third round and how it shouldn't have even happened, especially with regards to Dakes takedown, it wasn't a takedown. In freestyle, a takedown requires 3 points of contact. JB clearly only had one knee down and one hand posted. The other hand was up, and the leg extended not touching the ground. There was also no control since if they were in the center JB could've gotten up and potentially broken the lock Dake had. clearly was a push out for one point You also cant say that JB wasn't attacking this match, as he clearly was, much more than Dake in the last one, which is the reason dake was put on the clock and JB wasn't. This was a great match between two great wrestlers. Love watching them duke it out every time. Also, while the "punch" did look a little dirty, it came from close quarters and wouldn't have had enough power to actually hurt Dake bad enough for him to fall to the mat like that for real. I think he may have been pining for a tech, or a break cause of fatigue. not saying it wasn't something to be looked at, just saying it really didn't look bad enough to warrant that reaction. its like when basketball players get "charged" on. And even with the caution, Dake would've only had 3, leaving the score 6-3. and if for whatever reason they gave dake the push out, it would've been 4-4 with JB leading with criteria, even though I personally prefer when ties lead to overtime.

Dake definitely flopped after Burroughs came with the hand. That hand to the face wouldn’t be able to put my 5 year old cousin on his ass. Let alone a 20+ year old athlete.

[@ShabazzTBL]

Exactly what I was saying. It was a moot point anyway because they would have tied. Some people were saying that the takedown wasn’t exposure but Dake was on his elbows haha.

[@NykoCentral]

This is so frustrating to know these two cant be starters for 2 different weigh classes like the amount of grind each put in is captain insano

So satisfying to watch Jordan shut these two biased announcers up. They annoyed me every single one of the 3 matches. Props to dake but you’ve got some growing to do before you can dethrone the king

I think the announcers actually like Jordan but they don’t wanna show it.

[@KainHowl]

He did the work and grew

[@MikeySkywalker]

Huh? People are way too sensitive about announcers. I thought if anything they favored Jordan. But, I didn’t really notice any favoritism. I think you are just invested in Jordan, so any criticism bothers you. But at the end of the day that’s their job. To analyze and announce.

[@ICOOKIE69I]

[@jonathonbevers170]

Definitely as I actually believe Dake should have gotten the win in the round 2 match. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the back exposure points Burroughs got was the difference in the series win but I thought to get back exposure points your back had to touch the mat. I think Burroughs being fresher not having to wrestle as much really made the difference. First 2 matches really close but thought Dake was too gassed in the 3rd round match. I think it will be a heck of a match between them to get the Olympics.

Dakes defense is really good but when he is going down he has a habit of not turning down. That’s how he lost match 2. If he had just given up the 2 and not the exposure then he would have been in a much better position.

[@wadeblanchard1784]

At the US Open Dake was put on a shot clock TWICE in the second period for wrestling exactly the way Boroughs wrestled in this second period. I said it then and I'll say it again, Jordan Boroughs, whom I have great respect for as a champion and an ambassador for the sport, is being officiated based on his reputation. It's not Boroughs' fault, he's doing what every athlete does and needs to do, wrestle the way the refs call the match. But I'm having more than a little problem with USA wrestling and the refs that they seem to be willing to perpetuate this bias. I'm not a Kyle Dake fan either. I'm a fan of wrestling in general and want to see the sport prosper, and this kind of one sided officiating is becoming pretty obvious and hurts the sport.

He didn't get put on the clock cause he shot, at the very least in the beginning of the period. And there was action between the two. The defensive moves by JB, like the push outs also counted for action to keep him off the clock. Dake was hardly even tying up or even circling when he was up.

There’s a difference between posting on the forehead and hands to the face. Dake just bitches about it. The refs will call it when it’s hands to face which will eventually happen if you post a lot because the person does keep their head still.

[@TKDKidNoHo]

I’m new to watching wrestling but from watching the three matches I notice a tactic of Jordan B where he will “club”, punch, and put his spread fingers in Kyles face. All is fair in war but I can see it frustrating Kyle but I truly believe if there were to penalize people for that more carefully Jake could have a better shot at beating Burroughs

[@doortech2004]

The best wrestler won. What is it now, 8 or 9 to 1 in favor of JB?

[@kevinjang8209]

I’m curious on how they will do against a level playing field. Dake makes excuses on how he never wrestled JB fresh, but Zain and Gilman went through a whole challenge tournament that same year. If you ever watch a Flo wrestling interview with Gilman, he even thinks that wrestling in the challenge tournament gives you momentum.

[@qunicyspielberger8692]

Dake never had a chance against someone as good as Burroughs. He desperatley needed Burroughs to slow. Burroughs shattering his ankle when he missed the wall mat has made a HUGE difference. Dake peaked in 2013. He will never win an Olympic gold medal! He was a beast in college but that's where he peaked. If he had to wrestle anyone of the 2012 version of Burroughs' caliber while at Cornell he would not be a 4X NCAA champion.

Dake was just to tired, say what you want the challenge tournament is bs. After wrestling IMAR, Alex dierenger and a FRESH Jordan Burroughs 2 times in a row he didn't have anything left compared to Jordan who had been just watching all day. Just think to yourself and even against Jordan when ever do you see someone break dakes lock like that on a cradle, when does someone just straighten their leg to break his lock on a single leg multiple times like it's nothing. Whenever does Dake just stand straight up for 50% of the match. If this version of Burroughs wasnt just a shadow of his former self in term of aggression Dake would of gotten hurt. Because he would of got blast doubled out of this world. I was very shocked to see Burroughs trying to hang on to a 4 point lead over a broken opponent and that he didn't look for the tech. Hope he wins gold and didn't crush dakes dream for nothing lol

Look I don't care what anyone says ever since I've been wrestling If ur a number one seed in an odd number bracket guess what u get a bye a break rest to watch ur next opponent. Even though dake is obviously fatigued that's his fault understand dake just had to win One match wrestling is a sport of pushing through so dake needs to stop talking to referees and work on his endurance and Jordan Burroughs needs to not wrestle like a pussy all he wants is a lead n yes that's smart and safe it's not the Jordan I remember who won the Olympic gold medal the one who was not even known going into his senior year of high school and then came and took the wrestling world by storm. All I have to say is scared money don't make no money.

[@wyattp8479]

The point of wrestling is working smarter, not harder. When you have a lead on someone, your coach always tells you "Don't do anything stupid" especially against an opponent that has you evenly matched. The Jordan you knew was 4 or 6 years younger. He's almost 30, and will be 30 in the Olympics. Jordan Burroughs is ancient by wrestling standards so he has to wrestle differently than he did 4, 6, or even just 2 years ago because he knows that those leads are going to be harder for him to get. And that holds especially true for Dake, who is his main contender. Note what you said. "senior year of high school". His body isn't the same as it was then. It doesn't make him any better or any worse, just different.

[@atlasbailly5439]

yeah so what if the most important match of the tourney isn't fairly matched at all. honestly its stupid that you favor burroughs. the olympic wrestler should be the best of the nation, not someone who won because of an unfair advantage.

[@matthewhorizon6050]

It wasnt a punch or slap. Their heads bumped, slightly. But really, it was fatigue -- quit playing Kyle [in my best Cartman voice]! In general, regarding the match, Jordan is simply the freasure wrestler. Ive been saying this for decades, you cannot judge who is better when one of the opponents has more ware on them from additional matches. Thats basic reasoning! One-on-one duels provide the best formate in determining legit winners (both wrestlers are freash) And keep in mind, i love tourneys, because they test you differently that a duel, but NO ONE should get free pass. Suspend your disbelief for a moment and think.: It is a flawed system/process -- which does not accuratly tell us who is better, because the variables are different.

i'VE SEEN WRESTLERS EJECTED FROM THE BUILDING FOR LESS. YOU CAN NOT PUNCH IN WRESTLING TO THE FACE AND SINCE DAKE FELL TO THE MAT I WOULD SAY IT WAS A REAL PUNCH NOT INADVERTENT. MAYBE A DEMO TO BENJAMIN SAYAH WOULD CHANGE HIS MIND

JB poor sport had to cheat smack poke eyes

Kyle Dake got a weak ass chin.. 6:03

[@BrotherBadSeed]

I like Burroughs, but that was a punch and it was dirty, Dake flailed, still should've been a point. And Burroughs should've been put on the clock. Probably would've been the same result.

[@wyattp8479]

It would've. Even with the caution and a point for the clock, the score would've completely ended on 6-4. I'm sure Jordan would've done a bs shot or two every now and then if he was put on the clock anyways
